new reef question?

[zoo minsi]

well my girlfriend currently has a 12 eclipse FOWLR set-up its been running for about 8 months. It currently only has a yellow tailed damsel in it, and a few margarita snails, we want to switch it over to a simple reef, the fish will be given to a friend and im getting a retrofit lighting kit ( SALE! - 36w Compact Fluorescent Retrofit: Aquarium Equipment and Supplies - Aqua Buys ). This will give us 3 wpg is this enough light for some colony or button polyps and maybe a mushroom to start? we also have roughly 350 gph through the filter and powerheads. Thanks for any input or advice. This is a learning tank for us till we have the money to set-up the 40 gallon breeder in our garage *twirlysmi

yea that should be fine for some polpys and shrooms.

kewl as far as ive read i figured they would be ok but wanted to double check, is there anything else that would work in our tank thats not too difficult? I'm going to start with them but down the road i would like to added more.

all softies should be fine, you might be able to get away with a low light lps too.

ive been reading online and on a few forums so ive got a decent idea of what will work i just get nervous when trying something for the first time, would really hate to kill something because i didnt know enough. I'm thinking of getting a yellow watchman goby for the tank too and either a clown fish or a firefish.
